Re-evaluating the Importance of Family-School Engagement

Sarah Lindstrom Johnson, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, Arizona State University

The pandemic has made it necessary to involve families as partners in education in very tangible ways as well as identified creative ways to address disparities in how schools engage with families. This session will focus on how to integrate family-school engagement into existing multi-tiered plans to support students’ behavior and academics. Additionally, it will center family-school engagement as an important component of a trauma-informed school.
